Distribute unplanned delivery costs ignoring G/L account lines

[SAPSupport]

In MIRO transaction, when we input an amount to unplanned delivery cost field and there are accounts in 'G/L Account' tab, system considers a G/L account as material item and distributes unplanned delivery cost to materials and G/L account.

For example, in 'PO reference' tab, there are 4 materials. We input 1000 USD unpl.del.csts and add one account in G/L account. Then the system will distribute 1000 USD between 4 materials and 1 G/L account.

We need in such of cases system ignore the G/L account and distribute unpl.del.csts only between material items.

There are two possible options to circumvent that behavior:

The first one is to set the unplanned delivery delivery costs to be distributed to a separate G/L account line. You can change that setting in OLMR transaction, then follow Logistics Invoice Verification > Incoming Invoice > Configure How Unplanned Delivery Costs Are Posted.

However, this option will not distribute the unplanned delivery costs among items. So, the best option available for you would be to define your own logic in BAdI MRM_UDC_DISTRIBUTE. That way, you will be able to explicitly ignore the G/L account items and perform distribution only for material items.

You can find a brief description about that BAdI in SAP Note 1156325 - BAdIs in the Logistics Invoice Verification environment.
